LANSING, Mich. — Michigan House passes right-to-work measure in defiance of angry

[jazusamo]

Big BUMP!

[cripplecreek]

Gonna be a crowbar shortage from all of us Michigan people having to pry the grins off our faces.

Obviously the Republicans elected have a clear mandate to pass laws in the interest of their constituents.

Damn right it hurts. It’s happened to my threads before too.

With the maxed out taxed out businesses in the State of California, there’s soon to be a mass exodus of businesses there.. I think the Socialists WANT private sector to leave California so that they can make it a 100% government-operated State that will spread out from there and eventually connect with the East.

Is that the purple SEIU Piglet?

Congratulations!!!

Now in my state, you and I could get married and legally smoke dope. ;>)

I am happy for you....

Sooner, rather than later, the water works will fail and they’ll all die.

Well actually, it has been empirically shown that, ceteris paribus, higher rates of unionization results in higher unemployment. This also follows from economic reasoning.

My experience with Big Three employees is they mostly vote Republican ~ which is one of the reasons I didn't understand why Obamugabe was bailing out GM.

That margin of 6 in each chamber isn't enough though. They need a 3/4 majority so they can constitutionalize RTW else someday the Democrats will slip back into office and screw everything up.

That's why those industries are going to forge ahead with their move to Indiana! Michigan's people will need to show some staying power.

I suspect that the social welfare community is a much larger percentage of the population in CA and so a much higher barrier to meangingful reform.

Otherwise I'd allow myself a glimmer of hope from the developments in MI.

Haha!

[nascarnation]

No matter how they vote, their DUES support Democrats.

[Army Air Corps]

Congratulations to your state on this momentous step. Wanna cigar? I have some premium sticks to send ya.

[andyk]

Threads have nuts?

Heh, I wasn't the only one to think that!

[cripplecreek]

This will be incredibly damaging to democrats in Michigan.

[quantim]

Factual, and succintly well stated.

Michigan GOP approves right to work amid protests

Words that warm the heart and puts a smile on one's face.

What it did for me, personally, I'm ROFLMAO!

Tell that to those in NY and NJ who suffered during the Sandy fiasco. Out of town workers with equipment turned around and sent home! Non union workers cars/equipment stolen or damaged.
